I Can See Your House From Here – Camel
Obviously influenced by the successes of Supertramp, in this album prog-meisters Camel make a departure from their sound of Mirage and Snow Goose and head down a more poppy Collins era Genesis path effectively becoming a sound akin to some sort of Rush-Supertramp-Toto hybrid.
This is Camel’s seventh studio album following Breathless and, in typical prog fashion, features a lineup change with original keyboardist Pete Bardens and bassist Richard Sinclair both having left the band. Moreover, Genesis’ Phil Collins guest performs on the album as a percussionist, which is probably why it sounds a little Genesissy than previous releases. Indeed, the keen ear can certainly pick out the foundations of Stationary Traveller era Camel when the band went full on pop.
Not a big listener to this album to be fair but even during the listen for writing this entry I’m sofa dancing like a fan.
